Freedom of information survey for journalists

What do journalists expect from our Freedom of Information laws? La Trobe PhD candidate Perrin Brown is researching the experiences of journalists with Australia’s FoI laws and views about the Rudd government's proposed changes. And he's keen to hear from journalists who are willing to complete a 10-minute online survey.

I appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey. The purpose of this research is to explore how Australia’s Freedom of Information (FoI) law has affected journalists. The survey covers your uses and knowledge of FoI law, your views on the law itself, and what you think of the Rudd government’s proposed changes?

The survey has 11 sections and will take you 10 minutes to complete – the time it takes to finish a latte. Your answers will be kept completely confidential. Where consent is given, survey participants may be contacted for a follow up interview. When the survey is complete please fill out the consent form and return to the following address:
